Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Xu Hao rubbed his chin, his brows furrowed, his gaze shifting between the notebook in his hand and the corpse of the two-headed kingpin in the distance.

"Sister Qiao, there's still something I don't understand."

He looked up, his tone clearly confused.

"It's a bit strange that these pages appeared on the Dark Twin-Headed King Kong. Logically speaking, 'Thursday' would love for us to never collect this notebook, so why would he be so 'kind' as to hide the fragments on the monster and even strengthen it, waiting for us to destroy it?"

He paused, then added, "Isn't this home delivery?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi also fell into deep thought. Unlike before, she was no longer impatient. Instead, she frowned slightly, tapping her arm lightly with her fingertips, and her sharp eyes swept across the surrounding environment, as if analyzing some unseen clue.

“Now that you mention it… that makes sense.” She nodded slowly, slowing her speech. “Thursday’s style has always been to disrupt and obstruct.”

Simply handing us the clues doesn't make sense for them.

She paused for a moment, as if she had caught a clue, and her eyes lit up: "We may... be stuck in a mindset."

We've seen monsters enhanced on Thursdays before, the most typical example being that Chaos Bull Demon King.

She paced back and forth to King Kong's corpse, kicking the charred limbs. "So we subconsciously assumed that all the enhanced monsters were Thursday's doing."

"What if it's not it?"

"Not it?" Xu Hao was somewhat surprised. "Then who could it be? Is there anyone else with this ability?"

"Who else could it be?" Qiao Xi's voice carried a hint of certainty and a barely perceptible sense of nostalgia. "Besides those two dead devils, Holy War and God of Law, who else would use such a roundabout way to convey information?"

She looked up at Xu Hao and said, "Those two are always acting strangely, aren't they?"

They deliberately made the monster stand out from the crowd, forcing us to notice its anomaly after a fierce battle. Then they hid the book pages in such a remote corner that only a meticulous searcher could find them.

"What if we leave right after we finish, or aren't careful enough, and we miss it?" She shrugged. "She's just being mysterious, more cunning than a honeycomb briquette."

Xu Hao followed her line of thought and found it somewhat reasonable, but a new question arose: "Then... if that's the case, those enhanced spiders we encountered when we came in? Were they also the work of the Holy War and the God of Magic? Just to... uh, to increase our visibility?"

"Ugh! Aren't you annoying?!"

Qiao Xi seemed to be provoked by his probing attitude, and the calm analytical atmosphere that had just been established was instantly shattered. She glared at Xu Hao in annoyance, and her voice rose a few decibels.

"Why do you have so many questions? A hundred thousand questions?!"

"Isn't this just a cheap trick to cover things up?! If you can't even see through this, how can you be the vice president?! Is your brain filled with mush all the time?!"

Xu Hao was bombarded with her barrage of criticism. He touched his nose and subtly pursed his lips.

Well, as expected of older women, they've really gone all out to get back at the loss they made earlier.

The discussion just now, while resolving some mysteries, also raised more questions.

Xu Hao looked at the black notebook in his hand, which seemed to have become even heavier, and then at the enormous corpse of the Dark Two-Headed King Kong on the ground. His thoughts were a jumble of complex emotions.

The others also snapped out of their mind from the information-packed conversation between the two and began to stretch their limbs and check their potions and equipment.

The most important thing right now is to keep exploring the map.

"Alright, let's put aside these old stories and hurry up and get to the next level," an impatient soldier urged again, clearly uninterested in these mystical secrets.

“Exactly, this place feels weird. If you stay here long enough, something just doesn’t feel right,” another Taoist priest chimed in.

Xu Hao was about to nod when Qiao Xi raised her hand to stop him. "Wait." Her voice returned to its usual calm, but her eyes were unusually sharp. "Don't rush down yet."

"What is it now, Sister Qiao?" The impatient soldier stopped walking, though she was getting a little impatient.

Qiao Xi ignored him and instead scanned everyone present before finally settling on Xu Hao: "If my guess is correct, those two old guys, Holy War and God of Law, since they left a page in this way, it's unlikely that they only left one."

She pointed to King Kong's corpse on the ground, "There might be other 'surprises' waiting for us to discover in this place."

Xu Hao immediately understood her meaning. If these enhanced monsters and hidden pages were clues deliberately left behind by the Holy War and the God of Magic, then they would likely have deployed more than one in this area.

I was so focused on fighting the first King Kong I encountered that I didn't thoroughly search the entire map.

“That makes sense.” Xu Hao nodded in agreement. “Don’t rush to the next level’s entrance yet. Let’s search this level thoroughly and see if there are any other similar two-headed monsters.”

Although some people found it troublesome, no one dared to object to Qiao Xi and Xu Hao's decision, after all, the first page of the book had already proven Qiao Xi's judgment.

So the elite squad rallied, spread out in combat formation, and began a thorough search of the dark, blood-soaked stone chamber or cave.

The place was larger than I had imagined, and the terrain was quite complex, with jagged rocks and ravines of varying depths everywhere, as well as some collapsed stone pillars and walls, creating many blind spots.

The team members advanced cautiously, with warriors in front and mages and Taoists in the middle providing support, always on guard against any potential enemies.

"Over here! There seems to be some movement!" a Taoist priest on the flank of the group whispered.

Everyone immediately became alert and quickly moved toward the source of the sound.

Sure enough, after bypassing a huge stalactite, they saw the second two-headed Vajra.

Like the first one, it was enormous, with greenish-blue skin, and was pacing restlessly, its large, fan-like hands occasionally slapping against the rock wall, producing dull thuds.

"Same as always!" Xu Hao shouted and charged forward first.

The battle resumed. With their previous experience, the team's coordination was much better.

The Taoist priest quickly applied poison to reduce Vajra's defense and health; the mage's lightning and fire walls intertwined, which, although not very effective, could still draw some attention; the warriors stood at the front, enduring Vajra's heavy blows and looking for opportunities to deal damage.

As expected, when the two-headed giant's health was depleted and it collapsed to the ground, the familiar "crackling" sound rang out again. Its bluish-green skin quickly faded to dark brown, and eerie green flames ignited in its eye sockets—the Dark Two-Headed Giant had reappeared.
